Definitions: These definitions are from the NFP.
Intensive training and technical assistance means training and TA
provided to the governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects primarily on-site over an extended period. Intensive training and TA is based on an ongoing relationship between the training and TA center staff and the governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS
grant and the current personnel of the AIVRS projects under the terms of a signed intensive training and TA
agreement.
Targeted training and technical assistance means training and TA based on needs common, to one or more governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects on a time-limited basis and with limited commitment of training and TA center resources. Targeted training and TA are delivered through virtual or in-person methods tailored to the identified needs of the participating governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects.
Universal training and technical assistance means training and TA
broadly available to governing bodies of Indian Tribes that have received an AIVRS grant and to the current personnel of the AIVRS projects and other interested parties through their own initiative, resulting in minimal interaction with training and TA center staff. Universal training and TA
includes generalized presentations, products, and related activities available through a website or through brief contacts with the training and TA center staff.
